...the truth is that my experience here in Israel wouldnt have been completed enough if i hadn't had experienced, or had felt properly what means to live under stress and pressure while maybe 1hour and a half, far from the city i live in, there is a war going on...more than that, i have friends and family friends living in those cities (Ashdod, Ashkelon and Ber'Sheva), therefore it was sad to hear that their vacation is not the most succesfull one, spending good reasonable hours in the bomb shelters, that special room that every house or apartment has, from the very beginning of the construction.
More than that, i can admit that i am pretty nervouse to travel by bus in Jerusalem, because of the suicide bombers, though surprinzingly, everyone is going to work as usual, everything happens as it was 2 weeks before. Everyone is concerned, but still they go on and live as nothing happenes. Because this is life..therefore, I am living the moment and without any effort I can say that I changed some of my point of views upon the Israeli mentality and i can even understand it much better than at the very beggining.
I attended parties the days before, i hanged out, and also for New Year, tonight, everything will be normal, the clubs will be full as they are every night, young people enjoying their lifes, though they stay reasonably rational about all the situation from Gaza.
I was in a vacation from my internship the past days, while i was in Tel Aviv attending the Congress of the World Union of jewish Students. The first 2 days everything was normal, but later on the news and the security messeges reached us and we were able to see what is going on and how the media is handling all this war issue.
I can say that is a succesfull war, and hopefully Hamas will learn its lesson, but so far let's hope that Israel wont suffer spread casualties or other strikes of the rackets or Quassami bombs.
During the WUJS Congress, all the group of the students, meaning us, all the participants, were honoured to enter Kneset ( the Israel Government) hearing a speech of a member of the Kadima party, named Tzachi Hanegbi.
All in all, besides this latest few days, I had a really busy schedule with a lot of conferences and debates, with a lot of lectures and even parties in the end.
Llife can be completely advertised in too many ways, but the reality and the valid facts can be felt only from one point of view - being at the right moment, without much make up of the tv ...
Life itself is a war of survival, though let's hope, at least, that 2009 will be better, healthier, more peacefull and succesfull.
I wish to you a great and a fulfilled New Year!
Happy New Year!
La multi ani!
